A life for Africa

In everyone's life, there's a place that one feels to belong to, for a cultural link or for a series of events and affections, or for an unconscious anthropological joint. For one, or for all these reasons together, I belong to Africa.

My love for Africa is the feeling which accompanies my daily life. In Africa, generouse and sincere land, I've fixed my home, as a devote daughter, affectionated sister, close friend and protective mother.

In the western world it is often known only one way to look at Africa, I try, through my work to tell what this wonderful land can express, what it can offer, in other words, the other face of Africa which invite us to reflect on ourselves and inspire our capacity to thrill in front of the existence, not only because of its nature, but first of all for its extraordinary mankind.
